3)What problems do you think are in public schools and what do you think can be done to fix them?

The topic I would choose out of this set would be "what problems do you think are in public schools and what do you think can be done to fix them?". This is a very interesting question to me, because I feel that there are many serious problems that are in need of fixing in public schools.

Money; I can not think of a single institution that uses money less efficiently than our schools, except possibly our government. We lack funds to adequately pay teachers, provide textbooks for students, and adjust to the growing population of students. Instead, we choose to spend it on expensive televisions all over the school and god knows what else. But it is not being spent on things that are important.

Teachers; Lets face it, most teachers just are not qualified to be teaching kids. There are a select few, mostly AP/academy teachers, who do the job because they sincerely care about teaching kids, but the majority are horribly inept. The problem lies in the fact that schools should pay teachers more, otherwise many professional or highly qualified people will look elsewhere for jobs and we will continue to be stuck with teachers like most of the ones we currently have.
